In the year 2056, a teenager dressed in a tactical vest, combat pants, and alloyed boots sat atop the ruins of a shattered six-story apartment building. The structure stood in a Prefecture-level city within the former Jiangsu region. With a Hexagonal Shield and a Bloodshadow Combat Sword strapped to his back, he perched silently on the rooftop’s edge. The starry night cast a brilliant glow, and the cool breeze offered a fleeting moment of serenity. Yet, in this desolate city, silence reigned—broken only by the occasional, chilling howls echoing through the night.
